Empowering youth for decent work

Description

Project: Empowering youth for decent work was addressing the current challenges young people are facing at the labour market. It was focusing on young unemployed people, youth who are working in short term, unstable and precarious conditions and at young people who were already employed. Through the partnership established among different organisations addressing these topics, the project offered a space and opportunities to share knowledge, practices and approaches working with youth. We created new and innovative models addressing young people in order to bring those topics to them and to other actors in this field, with the aim to empower them in the transition from education to the labour market. The aim of the project was to empower youth in this transition and enable them in knowing the rights they have, when they are unemployed, in precarious work or in employment. Within the project, we compared the situation of young people living in Slovenia and in Spain, where the consequences of youth unemployment and precarious have been very notable and address this with correlation to European policies influencing labour market and legislations. We made a research on the situation of young people in this transition and challenges they are facing. We also checked how well they are aware of the topics, how good they are in knowing their rights, while unemployed, in different forms of work and in employment, what are the measures that can help them and who are the actors in this field. We also checked how well they are aware of possibilities to connect and act on this matter and what actions can they take. This was done by making a researches that included also a questionnaire filled by young people, in order to gather young people’s opinion and their views on the matter. Collected results were gathered and together with the statistical data and other information we published a research that presented the situation of young people and their view of the situation. Based on this we developed an education module to empower them on this field and organise a national seminars (In slovenia and in Spain) for young people and youth workers. We also developed and implemented informative and educational online campaign striving to present these topics in a youth friendly way and empower young people with knowledge and information for facing these challenges, present them the rights they have and actions they can take. The results of the project, outcomes and conclusions were also shared to other actors in this field (such as policy makers, other youth organisations, trade unions, public employment services, etc.) at the national level, where we organised seminars and at the international closing conference. With this we built bridges among young people and other stakeholders who are working on these topics. The main target groups were young people and those stakeholders. Youth in these situations (unemployed and precarious workers) are at the risk of social exclusion or are already social excluded. This situation does not only affect their economic situation, but also does not provide them with adequate social and legal protection. Therefore, with the project we also wanted to empower them to stand for their rights, to take actions, to become active citizens, contribute in addressing those topics and to increase their participation in democratic life. We also wanted to motivate them to take part in youth organisations, or other organisations. We also want to strengthen their belief in taking the initiatives and to become engaged at local, national or European level, to collaborate and be connected and share their views and express their opinion. Project also aimed to raise awareness among broader public at national and European level about the precarious work and on the importance of decent work and propose action and measures for developing policies that assure decent work for young people. Therefore, the project included various actors from this field that gain new knowledge about the situation of young people, their views and their needs. additionally we also organised a press conference (In Slovenia) where we presented the results of the projects, research and disseminate the outcome in order to make project visible and to showcase the situation young people are facing. This also helped in achieving the results of the training. Through established partnership among organisations end exchanging practices, views and approaches, developing new methods and educational activities, we also strengthen capacities of included organisations and contribute to development of youth work. Partners organisations really connected during the project and we are still continuing the cooperation after the project.
